Agro-ecosystems sustainability is largely determined by its economic viability and its impacts on the environment and society as a whole. The efficient management of on-farm resources in integration with natural biogeochemical cycles broadens the natural resource base for economic agriculture, and enhances environmental quality. Sustainably managing natural resources also envisages exploring intricate linkages among biophysical, technological, social-economic and environmental factors. For sustainably enhancing growth in agriculture production, there is a need to increase resource use efficiency by integration of agronomy with natural biogeochemical cycles for conserving resources, and to innovate to create efficient technologies for precise application and use of resources. In any case the the solutions must take care of the urgent environmental concerns on priority basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
